Dynamic Equilibrium

Cards (3)

  • Dynamic equilibrium refers to the maintenance of a balance in a natural system, despite it being in a constant state of change. The system counteracts change to maintain balance.
  • Dynamic equilibrium in a sediment cell is where inputs and outputs of sediment are in a constant state of change but remain in balance.
  • Dynamic equilibrium can be disturbed in the long term by human intervention or in the short term by natural variations.
